The kindest TV series of our time may be getting a new season, but that's not the best news

The popular Apple TV+ series "Ted Lasso" is likely to get a fourth season. The news should have been a joy for fans of the show, but comedy connoisseurs were rather puzzled by the news. The finale of the previous season was the logical conclusion of the story, so there was a debate online whether it was appropriate to continue the TV show.

The main cast of "Ted Lasso," including Hannah Weddingham, Bret Goldstein and Jeremy Swift, are expected to return to their roles. This is reported by Deadline.

The touching series is about an American soccer coach Ted (Jason Sudeikis) from Kansas who is hired to manage a fictional British soccer team, AFC Richmond. This forces the protagonist, who has no coaching experience, to change his life on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean by becoming a true leader and mentor.

What is known about the continuation of the Ted Lasso series

The return of the cast paves the way for a green light for a fourth season, depending on budget and schedule approvals. All because the performers of some roles may have started other projects in which they are starring, sources said. If all elements come together, production on season four should begin in 2025. Representatives for WBTV and Apple TV+ declined to comment.

Why the news confused fans

The last episode of the third and seemingly final season was released in May 2023. Omitting spoilers, one thing is certain - the episode closed all storylines of the show. The story can only continue with spin-offs, the network speculates. The key for users is that the sequel should feature Jason Sudeikis, who played the lead role.

• "I have mixed feelings about this one! But on the bright side, we get to watch Ted Lasso and all these amazing people again."

• "We don't need a season 4 of 'Ted Lasso.
• "And seriously, they can't do a season 4 of Ted Lasso without Ted Lasso in the foreground. It would just be a spin-off."
• "So the show that I sat in tears over the ending of last year is getting a season 4?"
• "Honestly, I'm not sure we need one. Let's hope the creators bring something fresh to the table, otherwise it's just going to drag on."

Why the Ted Lasso series gained popularity

The show is rated 8.8 out of 10 on the IMDb website, and critics on the Rotten Tomattoes platform have left "Ted Lasso" with 90% good reviews. The show's emphasis is on humor combined with a nice atmosphere and some dramatic situations - all in the midst of the soccer season in England. The show was to the taste of not only sports fans, but also ordinary viewers.

Ted Lasso is a positive, helpful and optimistic person who appears in the lives of the club's somewhat grumpy players. He has good will, sees everything from a positive perspective and finds a solution to every problem, even if it's not too obvious at first glance. Ted Lasso exists in a world where kindness, optimism and empathy are not so common characteristics of strong, inspired and dedicated leaders. The series is notable for its lack of black humor and cynicism, something rarely seen in modern filmmaking.
